In short: Wow!
In full: well, i've done the terminator(twice)the stickler (twice) over the hills, the monty and the horror.. but this was the one! The hardest thing I have EVER done (well in my moderate 3 years of running anyhow)!. Maybe it was the added 'moisture' from the evening before or the fact that I had to literally stop 3 times in the river/bog/quicksand to stop myself from hyperventilating myself to death :) - a big thanx to everyone there who encouraged me along.. spectators and runners alike. Anyone who has not yet taken the plunge...sorry about the pun! get this in your diary for next year

In short: Wet conditions made it the most challenging Slog I've done
In full: My 4th time at this excellent race and I reckon the conditions made it the hardest yet.Shame about the course changes-I love the lake!
Thanks to the excellent marshalls as usual in particular the man at the end of the underpass near the finish who called be gorgeous when I definetely was n't!!
Looking forward to doing it all again next year.
